The cover for IDW's Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #4 movie prequel comic hit the internet recently, and what was on the cover? None other than the first apparent look at nu-Trek's Klingons. The image is below, in case you think it's a spoiler.

It very much looks like there's a '60s-style, classic TV series Klingon under that helmet, which I appreciate mightily, and I have to say I approve of the medieval knight-esque helmet. The Klingons are warriors, and this look is clearly an update but one that's still true to the original. Now the question is whether these guys will actually show up in Star Trek Into Darkness, or if this comic is the only place we'll be seeing them.
